An SRT file stores information about when each subtitle text should get displayed and then removed, along with a sequential index. Subtitles in the SRT format cannot have formatting, unlike some other subtitle formats, such as SMI (SAMI).Note: SRT files themselves do not contain the video. They are only used in conjunction with a video.
